  1. Hi Marco,

    Thank you for your post. I have looked through your materials and I think it will be an interesting selection to deal with club/restaurant.

    "eat", "drink", "dance" will be the main function of this facility you are attempting to design this semester. But there is a possibility to add another unique functions that makes your project stand out in this context. We will have to work on that later on.


    While I understand that 2 out of 5 of your building types are hotel/club, the rest are wineries. Is there a particular reason why you selected winery and can you explain this selection?

    With that said, I see that you disregarded the "floating mass" (the tasting room and kitchen) at Kukkula Winery diagrams. To anyone who sees the original drawings, especially the section (it doesn't show on your selected frontal image), it is the distinctive feature and I think you should fix that diagrams. It will be worth studying that condition as it may become an interesting feature to study later. Faustino's sections, as well as any winery projects, are also something to look at "read" it.

  3. Your diagrams are very clear for the most part, I am curious if looking at these 5 examples will provided you with the knowledge you need to design a winery/club. Are there other types of buildings that would have similar spaces that you could look at? Are there other examples that you have found that do not have all the dwgs you needed to analyze?

  4. You have selected three winerys and two hotel/club complexes. Those different functions need different settings. A winery need to be close to fields. A club/hotel of those dimentions need to be close to a citycenter.

    I think you need to narrow down who your client is and your clients needs.

  5. Like Cecilia pointed out, I also believe defining the user groups (The type locals and the visitors, etc) will be your next consideration.

    Marco, I am curious your intentions of why you selected these building types. Why does this winery and hotel interest you? We would appreciate if you can comment on this question.

  6. Jose Cruz Ovalle, architect in Chile, has designed wineries, great use of wood and daylight:

    You get just a glimpse inside here - but it shows the large spaces needed for wine production:

  7. There is also a classic example of Herzog & de Meuron's Dominus Winery. How the lighting works on daytime and night time (both inside-out and outside-in) on your project can be an interesting study to look at.

  8. Great example, I agree with Fumio. Do look it up.

    We are, as Fumio pointed out, curious to hear your reasoning behind your choices!

  9. my main focus is to have a winery/bar restaurant and the club being next to it but not a club/hotel

  10. the only reason I have club/hotel examples is because I was having trouble finding floor plans which led me to the examples I posted.

  11. At first I chose to have a club/bar restaurant but the site I chose is about 160,000 sq ft which is why I decided to include having a winery in the site but making it a winery/bar restaurant and have the club aside.
    here is a link to the site I chose

    sorry for not updating my 1st post which I believe led to a bit confusion on what I was going for and added a winery after my 1st post.

    I wanted to go along with having a club/bar restaurant but the space of the site is huge. I need to re-do most of what I've done and narrow down my ideas.

  12. I decided to go with a winery/restaurant and a club next to it. My club would be more of an elegant type of club that sells wine.

    There is also a winery close to my site, here's a link

    After looking at the links you both provided it made me want to stick with winery.
